Hi Barry,
   I installed pgp6.5.8, but I'm still having problems.

It installed okay enough:
~/.pgp $ ls
PGPMacBinaryMappings.txt	pubring.pkr
PGPgroup.pgr			randseed.rnd
PGPsdkPreferences		secring-bak-1.skr
pgp.cfg				secring-bak-2.skr
pubring-bak-1.pkr		secring.skr
pubring-bak-2.pkr
~/.pgp $ 

I generated my pub/sec keys okay, configured Evo accordingly, but I keep
getting the same error message after entering my passphrase:
Error: no secret key found
signature error

Dude what am I doing wrong here. I've read through the documentation
(PGP Command Line Guide) three times now, but can't seem to get anywhere
with this. I even restarted Evo in case it might help, but nothing.

I've copied this to freebsd-questions just in case someone else might
have any ideas. Uname info:

 ~ $ uname -a 
FreeBSD <snip> 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #1: Tue May  7 00:13:10 BST
2002 <snip>:/usr/src/sys/compile/<snip>  i386
~ $ 


I'll keep trying though.

Stacey
